as a waiter at a restaurant, joe earns $2.25 an hour plus tips. if he made $55 in tips and his total earning did not exceed $70, how many hours could he have worked

7, 6.66, 6 2/3 (see explanation)

Explanation:

$55 in tips would mean that they can work x hours. To figure this out easiest in my head at least I divided 15 by 2.25. This equals out to 6.66 repeating.

Now you cannot work 2/3 of an hr in most jobs which is why I would say most likely you would round this up, but depending on teachers and schools sometimes they prefer to round and sometimes they don't. 6.66 aka 6 2/3 is your answer and it'd be your call to round it or not but I'd prob say to. Hope this longer response helps!

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
